Forsaken (The Aftermath) Lyrics by Within Temptation
[Intro]
Now the day has come
We are forsaken this time
[Verse 1]
We lived our lives in our paradise
As gods we shaped the world around
No borderlines we'd stay behind
Though balance is something fragile
[Pre-Chorus 1]
While we thought we were gaining
We’d turn back the tide, it still slips away
Our time has run out, our future has died
There's no more escape
[Chorus]
Now the day has come, we are forsaken
There's no time anymore
Life will pass us by, we are forsaken
We’re the last of our kind
[Verse 2]
The sacrifice was much too high
Our greed just made us all go blind
We tried to hide what we feared inside
Today is the end of tomorrow
[Pre-Chorus 2]
As the sea started rising
The land that we conquered just washed away
Although we all have tried to turn back the tide
It was all in vain
[Chorus]
Now the day has come, we are forsaken
There's no time anymore
Life will pass us by, we are forsaken
Only ruins stay behind
[Bridge]
Now the day has come
We are forsaken this time
[Chorus]
Now the day has come, we are forsaken
There's no time anymore
[Outro]
Now the day has come
The day has come
The day has come
